Bohemian sandwich café
Café Santropol
Why locals love it
Considered an underground institution, Santropol is the ideal hideaway brimming with students and families alike. Once a small business opened over 30 years ago, its owners can still be seen greeting patrons at the door. Their spacious, eclectic decor (including a small library at the front) and artsy, bohemian vibe will surely win you over.
